The passage you are talking about is discussing when a person becomes saved. At that time they "die" to an old sinful nature and from that point on are free from sin. This does not mean that they will never sin. It indicates that the state of a sinful nature is a state where you do not realize there is a choice and will sin. Believers are supposed to be saints who sometimes screw up, not sinners who sometimes do what is right.
As far as judgment goes, when Christ died on the cross he paid for all the sins of everyone past, present, and future. All you have to do is acknowledge your sin, ask for forgiveness, and turn from it. If you are wondering about being judged for your sins when you die look into the judgments in Revelation. The great white throne is only for the unsaved. There is another judgment where believers will be judged by their works. Good works give you rewards, works with wrong motives etc. may take away from your rewards. The rewards will be cast back at Jesus' feet.

Romans 6:7 and 6:23 only pertain to believers.
Those resurrected for judgement of their sins are unbelievers ONLY (Rev. 20:5); this happens at the Great White Throne Judgement (Rev. 20:11-15). Believers are judged for their sins at the time they accept Christ as their Messiah; believers will only be judged for their works.

No.
Revelation 20:12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
All will be judged either for heaven or hell.

In verse 7 dead does not mean physically. Dead means forgetting about your personal desires and following God by denying what you want to do and doing what is holy and acceptable to the Lord. Verse 23 is easier to explain. Sin leads to death. If you sin and you are not properly forgiven by God you will go to hell which is eternal death with pain. The only way to be forgiven by God is to receive his Holy Spirit by being baptized in the name of Jesus. Only then are you freed from sin.

Rome 6:7 do not talk about resurection at all. Look at this (the Wesley thing is Biblical commentary from John Wesley):
(Rom 6:1) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
(Wesley) The apostle here sets himself more fully to vindicate his doctrine from the consequence above suggested, Rom 3:7-8. He had then only in strong terms denied and renounced it: here he removes the very foundation thereof.
(Rom 6:2) God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
(Wesley) Dead to sin - Freed both from the guilt and from the power of it.
(Rom 6:3) Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
(Wesley) As many as have been baptized into Jesus Christ have been baptized into his death - In baptism we, through faith, are ingrafted into Christ; and we draw new spiritual life from this new root, through his Spirit, who fashions us like unto him, and particularly with regard to his death and resurrection.
(Rom 6:4) Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
(Wesley) We are buried with him - Alluding to the ancient manner of baptizing by immersion. That as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory - Glorious power. Of the Father, so we also, by the same power, should rise again; and as he lives a new life in heaven, so we should walk in newness of life. This, says the apostle, our very baptism represents to us.
(Rom 6:5) For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
(Wesley) For - Surely these two must go together; so that if we are indeed made conformable to his death, we shall also know the power of his resurrection.
(Rom 6:6) Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve1398 sin.
(Wesley) Our old man - Coeval with our being, and as old as the fall; our evil nature; a strong and beautiful expression for that entire depravity and corruption which by nature spreads itself over the whole man, leaving no part uninfected. This in a believer is crucified with Christ, mortified, gradually killed, by virtue of our union with him. That the body of sin - All evil tempers, words, and actions, which are the "members" of the "old man," Col 3:5, might be destroyed.
(Rom 6:7) For he that is dead is freed from sin.
(Wesley) For he that is dead - With Christ. Is freed from the guilt of past, and from the power of present, sin, as dead men from the commands of their former masters.
(Rom 6:23) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(Wesley) Death - Temporal, spiritual, and eternal. Is the due wages of sin; but eternal life is the gift of God - The difference is remarkable. Evil works merit the reward they receive: good works do not. The former demand wages: the latter accept a free gift.
-----------
It's a good habit not to read only one or two verses from The Bible but read one pericope, because several verses are linked together to make a point.
So from what I read, Rome 6:7 do not talk about judgement or resurection, but simply say that if we died in the name of Christ, we do not die in sin. And people who do not die in sin will live at the end. And Rom 6:23 simply talks about the result of sin, which is eternal death.
Hope this answer your question.
